State of the Stack v4 – OpenStack In All It’s Glory

By Randy Bias on May 22, 2015

I gave the seminal State of the Stack presentation at the OpenStack Summit.  This is the 4th major iteration of the deck.  This particular version took a very different direction for several reasons: Most of the audience is well steeped in OpenStack and providing the normal “speeds and feeds” seemed pedantic There were critical unaddressed […]

Why Most Online Video Companies Will Fail

Why Most Online Video Companies Will Fail

By Mark Suster on February 8, 2015

I live in LA and fund startups. So you can imagine that I see a lot of video startups. Most will fail. I repeat the same mantra to every one I see. “You can’t build a large online video company. You have to build a large online tech company that distributes video.” I try to […]

How Online Video Companies Can Increase Margin and Build Better Businesses

How Online Video Companies Can Increase Margin and Build Better Businesses

By Mark Suster on September 18, 2013

In my last post I pointed out that many of the media commentators who have criticized the YouTube video network companies as not having strong businesses were mistaken. The main thrust of the post is that with YouTube taking a 45% of revenue and talent taking 70% of the remaining revenue, YouTube Networks didn’t have […]

Why The Media Has Been Wrong About YouTube Networks

Why The Media Has Been Wrong About YouTube Networks

By Mark Suster on September 16, 2013

For much of 2013 I  watched the press write articles about how the YouTube “MCNs” (multi-channel networks) were doomed and tried to square that with the data I was watching at the one I invested in, Maker Studios, who has had one hell of a year. Maker announced it has raised $62 million this year, […]

A Conversation on Open Cloud–Google+ Hangout

By Ben Kepes on September 4, 2012

The discussion around open versus closed in the cloud is reaching fever pitch but what does it all mean? Many people have but the loosest understanding of what open cloud means and the differences between open source, open clouds and federated clouds. I’m in the process of writing a paper

Google+ Hangouts On Air and SMBs

Google+ Hangouts On Air and SMBs

By Krishnan Subramanian on May 8, 2012

Yesterday Google unwrapped the Google+ Hangouts on Air to general public with relatively little fanfare. This is part of Google’s social strategy but the product has the potential to disrupt many startups in the space, especially the ones targeting consumers and SMBs. Google could flex their Youtube muscle to literally shove them away. Google+ hangouts […]

I wish that Klout allowed for divergent systems

By Dan Morrill on September 25, 2011

I like Klout; it is an interesting system that can be easily tweaked to work with the major social systems out there. Klout support most of the major systems such as Facebook, Blogger, Flickr, and others to try to put together a bird’s eye view of how your influence and supporters/followers tend to influence others […]

By Mark Suster on March 2, 2011

  This article originally appeared on TechCrunch. I know what you’re thinking – link bait title, right? Wrong. I will stand 100% behind my assertions in this post.
